Simple to build isolation transformer that consumes less power than it gives out

[Jack Noskills]

Yes, high impedance is the working principle. Higher the better. High impedance is created by number of turns, core permeability, high frequency or tuning cap. Tuning cap is the most difficult one to find.

I used E-I and toroid cores, E-E face to face should also work in case you cannot make E-I without trashing to MOT.

Thanks,

Will let you know how it goes.

The secondary of a MOT is way to high impedance and you will not be able to impress enough the core to go secondary to secondary. I have tried it in the past many times without any results. That secondary is the high voltage side of the MOT and those HV sides are not good to use as a primary.

But one thing you can do with two MOTS with their head cores removed is use two three way relays and they will pulse back and forth via the magnetic field produced in the core open center. That was fun to do and a good start to looping techniques with a few right sized caps.

I just got my local EE to make me a variable pulse circuit so I will be doing some more experiments tonight and this rainy weekend.

As for buying cores, I am taking my time and investigating all alternatives to move forward.

Jack, I think I will help you with miissing parts in circuit

Here is my drawn full circuit with your part inside:

Hi Wattsup,

Thanks for the inside running on trying to use mots for Jack's setup.

It would be wonderful if you could spare some time to draw us a circuit of the setup
you have described. I would like to have a play with that and seeing that I have four mots
with the top core removed, it sounds like I am half way there.

Once again, Thanks.

p.s. What is your current recommendation for cores to use in Jack's setup?
